From the much-acclaimed film biographer comes a wonderful book on Mack Sennett, America's king of silent comedy.Keystone, the film studio that Sennett founded in the early days of silent cinema, was the birthing ground of American screen comedy. Sennett himself was a born showman, whose first showbusiness job was playing the hind legs of a horse. There was never a dull moment in a Sennett picture, whether it showcased the madcap 'Keystone Cops' or the titillating humour of 'Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties'. All the stars of the Golden Age of screen comedy were employed by Sennett at one time or another: Charlie Chaplin, Fatty Arbuckle, W.C. Fields, and Mabel Normand, with whom Sennett had a much-publicised love affair.
